A man dubbed Britain’s most feckless father has been jailed for life with a
minimum term of 17 years after he was found guilty of murder.

Jamie Cumming, who fathered 17 children with 15 different women, stabbed
another man to death outside a pub in Dundee. His blade sliced through James
Getty’s heart, lungs and liver after a row at a birthday party. At the High
Court in Edinburgh yesterday, his lawyer, Jonathan Crowe, said: “He has
shown no remorse other than a general empathy for the victim and the
victim’s family.”
